acronym in the film then it still does not follow that the SPECTRE of the title is an explicit reference to the organization. For example, the film's title could also carry a metaphorical meaning too, referring to the "spectre" of Bond's past. If the film's title was explicitly presented as an acronym i.e. S.P.E.C.T.R.E. then that would pretty much settle the issue, but without the periods it is ambiguous. So let's turn our attention to sources used in the article: of the regular external links, IMDB, Allmovie and Box Office Mojo don't capitalise, while Metacritic does; Rotten Tomatoes capitalises all titles so we have no baseline for that site. Looking through the first 10 sources in the article, 7 do not capitalise; of the 3 that do, 2 capitalise all film titles, so essentially out of the first 8 valid sources only 1 capitalises. On the basis of that reliable sources certainly seem to lean towards not capitalising. That is a long way off the threshold set by Knowledge (XXG)'s own style guide.

So there are two things to consider here: i) is "SPECTRE" an acronym; and ii) is it "consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources"? While "SPECTRE" is indeed an acronym in the books there is no evidence that this is the case in the film. Even if SPECTRE is an

This is wrong: "Bond obtains a ring stylized with an octopus from the deceased attacker". Sciarra is not dead at this point. I removed "deceased" but got reverted. Would the anonymous editor who reverted this please discuss why you think "deceased" is needed? (Also I find "attacker" confusing but

without any reason being given. I'd like to ensure that the the correct form is used in this article, and the best evidence I've seen suggests that "SPECTRE" rather than "Spectre" should be employed. I invite further comments on the issue from the aforementioned persons, as well as other editors.

Knowledge (XXG) avoids unnecessary capitalization. In English, capitalization is primarily needed for proper names, acronyms, and for the first letter of a sentence. Knowledge (XXG) relies on sources to determine what is conventionally capitalized; only words and phrases that are consistently

On a final note, I would say that even if there were a case for capitalising the title the approach taken by Edwin is the incorrect one because the page title would still be in a non-capitalised form. If Edwin still believes that "Spectre" should be capitalised throughout the article I would

so the discussion is held within the context of renaming article and so the correct actions will be fully undertaken if there is indeed a consensus that "Spectre" should be capitalised. Best wishes, hope everyone is keeping safe.

as the rationale for the first reversion, yet "SPECTRE" is an anacronym and as far as I understand the MOS guidelines, it should therefore be capitalised. Moreover, when announcing the title of the film in December 2014,

A recent edit changed "Max Denbigh (whom Bond dubs "C")" to "Max Denbigh (codenamed "C")". I prefer the former, because we don't actually know that his code name is 'C', we only know that Bond chooses to call him 'C'.
